Masterclass Topic by Professor Pushan Dutt: A Brave New World: Trade Wars, Macroeconomics & Geopolitics in the Age of Trump

Synopsis: This session examines how renewed protectionism, geopolitical fragmentation, and the global AI race are reshaping the world economy. Drawing on current macroeconomic data and historical parallels, Professor Pushan Dutt explores the implications of trade wars, weakened multilateralism, and rising strategic competition—particularly between the US, China, and Europe. The session highlights why uncertainty is now a permanent feature of the global system, how firms and countries must shift from efficiency to resilience, and why innovation, talent, and scale have become decisive competitive advantages. The discussion concludes with strategic insights on navigating tariffs, geopolitical risk, and technological disruption in an era where long-term plans give way to adaptive, dynamic strategy.
